New blood coming up big. Two weeks ago, we had a new(ish) team win the game and the jackpot. This last week, another new team came in and grabbed the win. They were one of at least 5 new teams on the night, but they didn't pull the jackpot. Eminent Domination showed up, served papers, and won the game, holding off 18 other teams.

Next week, we'll be @ 3 reds & a blue. Will another new team show their worth, or will one of our regulars reassert their dominance? You'll have to show up and see.

As a reminder, every year the Landmark shuts down for a week around the fourth of July. That means we'll be off on July 8th. Make sure you join us July 1st for a great pub quiz.

Last things: our friends from Sequoia Pub Quiz will be making a name change. They're off for a couple of weeks, and will now be at Guri's Grubhouse starting on Tuesday, July 21st. If you want another PQ in your life, we suggest them.

This last week we had almost all of those things happen. Sadly, there was no home made ice cream, but we did have a great time at Pub Quiz. Fifteen teams went after the prize. After round one, seven teams were tied for the lead, which may have been our biggest round tie. After each round we were able to announce a different round winner, and our first place teams shifted around. A constant in first on the night was Rachel Dolezal Presents: White is the New Black. They were either in first or a tie for first all night. At the end of four rounds, they were knotted up with Tequila Mockingbird for the overall lead. After the tie breaker question, Tequila Mockingbird dropped Rachel Dolezal like Atticus Finch drops a rabid dog. It was their first time winning, and they carried that winning energy through the jackpot drawing to snag the big prize. That means next week is another fresh start on our jackpot drawing.

Don't forget, the Landmark will be closed the week of July 4 -11, so we'll be off on the 8th. But every other week we hope to provide you with an excellent night of trivia.

We had a pretty full house this last Wednesday as sixteen teams went at it. Like many weeks, round 1 ended in a tie. After round 2, things shuffled a little, but three teams were still locked up for the lead. After round 3, Wang McPoopy Boobs seemed like they were ready to pull away for a win, but in round 4 the Rabbits with Bad Habits jumped into an overall tie. We went to a tie breaker question, and the Rabbits were closer to the total goals scored in the Women's World Cup so far. They must have rubbed their lucky feet as they also snatched the jackpot chip. Wang McPoopy Boobs took down the second place prize, so it turned out sort of okay for them.

A note of heads up: Landmark will be closed July 4-11 for their annual vacation. We'll also be off that week. But until then, we rage against the darkness! Or, we play trivia on Wednesday nights.

You guys were great this last week at Pub Quiz. Another 14 teams showed up and showed off their smarts. We, on the other hand, had some struggles. One question caused a point change for most of the room, one question had a terribly misleading hint to it, and Ed seemingly forgot how to read mid-game. We'll due better next week.

In the game, the round wins spread around the room in a nice fashion. Rabbits with Bad Habits and Alana is Satan were tied after rounds two and three. Alana is Satan used a 9.5 in round 5 to pull away for the win. Rabbits with Bad Habits ended up in a tie for second with Stringer Barksdale. Alana pulled a chip, but it wasn't the jackpot, so next week there will be 3 reds & the blue jackpot chip. We hope you'll join us to take your shot at glory.
